| 5 | 2 Thoracic Compression Fractures | None | Miracle drug ...pain relief in 5-10 minutes and can last for weeks to months. Just concerned about long term use. | M | 39 | 10 years | 11/24/2006 | 5 | Headache | No side effects | I took toradol shot after having three days of headaches with no releif.....after the shot I feel so much better and I expected it to come back the next day but i got with the same releif from the shot...i love it...... | M | 30 | 1 days | 4/5/2007 | 5 | Pain relief from dressing change | No unpleasant side effects so far. | I have a second degree burn about 30 inches long and as much as 10 inches wide on the outside of my right leg from an industrial accident. The dressing is being changed every day and I am in severe pain. I was set up on a Toradol drip for the my dressing change on the fourth day and it controlled the pain for about 20 hours. The next day a lot of dead skin was removed from my leg so the pain was a lot worse. The Toradol helped, but not as much as the first treatment. | M | 51 | 2 days | 7/26/2006 | 5 | Kidney Stones | Slight naseua, made me extremely tired. | This drug was a Godsend when I was delivered to the ER for Kidney Stones. I couldn't sit, stand or talk, and they gave me an IV of this stuff and within moments the pain was gone. They say it works miracles for people going through kidney stone passage. | M | 32 | 1 days | 5/31/2007 | 5 | Shoulder surgery | Drowsiness and slight itchiness. | Toradol is amazing! It works very well – even better and longer than the vicodin that I was also prescribed. Too bad you can’t take it for more than 5 days before it kills you. I only experienced 2 small side effects. Drowsiness: Within 30 minutes of taking it I knew I would be down for a nap for at least an hour. It also made my face tickle. Not really an itch but enough that I wanted to touch my face to make it stop. I had no hives associated with the tickles. | M | 38 | 3 days | 4/19/2008 | 5 | Chronic Back Pain/ Muscle Spasms | None | I have curvature of the spine and thoracic outlet syndrome. It causes alot of pain in my back, arms, and shoulders. I went to the ER and recieved a shot of Toradol and within minutes the level of pain decreased dramaticaly. | M | 25 | 1 days | 12/27/2008 | 5 | Kidney stones | None | This drug works wonders for severe pain (IE My kidney stone!) and there is little if no risk for abuse like conventional opiates. | M | 26 | 1 days | 1/9/2009 | 5 | PAIN BECAME UNBEARABLE | no side effects | Spent last 20 years being misdiagnosed about a pain under my left breast that would radiate to under my armpit, up my arms and neck. Feels and symptom-wise, looks like a heart attack but isn't. Anyway pain became unbearable, went to ER, doctor said I have Tietze's syndrome, gave me Toradol injection. PAIN GONE IN 5 MINUTES! AMAZING, all these years trying all those other meds and this stuff worked in 5 minutes. I almost couldn't believe it. I have a new PAIN FREE life now. Haven't had the pain now in 5 months. Thanks to Dr. Paul Shen, ER, Huntington Beach, CA and the creators of this medicine. | M | 38 | 1 days | 3/6/2009 | 5 | Thoracic surgery for collapsed lung | None? I got really sweaty but I think that was the morphine | This was the greatest. In the recovery room after the surgery they gave me 40 mg (I think, massive amounts of pain = hard to concentrate) of morphine and couldn't give me any more. That got me down from a ten to a... 7 maybe. Two shots of toradol got me down to a 2. Thank you toradol!! :) | M | 16 | 2 days | 5/21/2009 | 5 | Severe back spasms (chronic) | I've had probably a dozen injections from 2000-2009, and I've never had any type of side effect that I could link to Toradol. | I have all sorts of problems with my back due to degenerative disk disease, which causes constant inflammation and pain as well as occasional muscle spasms. When I am hit with spasms, they encompass all major muscle groups in my back, neck, shoulders, all the way down to my glutes (sometimes with significant nerve pain/numbness/tingling/etc.). Toradol injections have always knocked the spasms down from a 10 to a 4-6 within an hour or two. Percocet and Soma usually take care of the rest, but NOTHING has knocked down the pain and inflammation as quickly as Toradol. Not experiencing any side-effects from it is a plus, too. | M | 36 | 12 times | 6/9/2009 | 4 | headaches | none noticed | I started taking it after visiting the Diamond headache clinic in Chicago. I wasn't delighted with the thought of stabbing myself with a needle, but after practicing on a orange, I had the confidence to try. When I had my next bout with a killer headache I had no problem utilizing the shot of toradol. Funny what pain will do to a person. toradol has been one of the few consistant reliefs for my pain. Havn't had a script in a while but still would use. | M | 43 | 9 months | 1/20/2003 | 4 | Back and Leg Pain from my Back | When I would urinate I think I was finished before I was finished. I dont know if that side effect came from the shot, but it was right after I got the shot. | I have had 4 shots over the past 8 months. I felt no immediate relief with the shit. It took about 3 days to take effect. Then, it would only last about 7 days after I got the shot. Just like clock work the pain is back. When I get a lot of pain in my lower back I get leg pain in both legs. I hope to have surgery soon to correct the problem, but toradol really helps; for a week or so. | M | 36 | 8 months | 2/14/2006 | 3 | neck pain | none | M | 43 | 7 days | 6/23/2004 | 2 | neck and shoulder pain | the injection itself (IM) was fine. of course there was a bit of pain due to pushing a liquid into the muscle tissue, but it was slight. at first, it really worked for me, but about two hours after the shot, i began to have severe abdominal cramping and intense burning pains. i began vomitting a few hours after and had incredible pain. i doubt i'll take it again, as the only thing that helped the pain was hydrocodone, which is what i was trying NOT to take. ce la vie! | M | 34 | 1 days | 6/22/2005 | 1 | Headache | No side effects | No effect on headache either | M | 50 | 3 days | 12/16/2006 | 1 | Cluster headache | Nothing at all. It may as well have been saline. | I was given an injection for a severe headache and put on oxygen where I lied down in a dark room for about 15 minutes. My headache went away so I thought maybe it worked. As soon as I left the clinic and the sun hit my eyes, the headache came right back. Nubain works much better, but only if you do not regularly take other painkillers. | M | 23 | 1 days | 2/25/2009 | 1 | Migraine | Pain at injection site | Worthless. Did nothing to relieve migraine symptoms. | M | 20 | 1 months | 3/20/2008 | 1 | Back Pain | None | The injection did nothing for my pain. | M | 46 | 2 days | 12/15/2009 | 5 | Fibromyalgia | None | When ever i get a bad flair up, i go to get a shot, which is maybe 2 or 3 times a year. My Dr. told me to quit waiting so long to get relief,once a flair begins. This is just an anti-inflamatory/pain medication. I have never taken it, in the pill form. | F | 53 | 1 times | 9/11/2009 | 5 | surgery | NO SIDE EFFECTS | THIS SHOT WORKED WHEN THE MORPHINE DIDN'T | F | 48 | 1 days | 1/4/2010 | 5 | recovering from back surgery | none | Toradol gave me great pain relief after back surgery. I received it through my IV and did not require any other medicines to control pain while in the hospital. When I got home and was no longer getting Toradol, I was hurting. This stuff was like ibuprophen and naproxen put together times 100. | F | 42 | 2 days | 1/24/2010 | 5 | migrane headaches/stress/tension | none,if maybe tired but they tell you, after you get this shot lie dowm, in a quite, dark room.. wich i fall a sleep | its great when all else fails, like the motrins, tylonal,tension relive haedaches didnt, we tried the shot of torodol.. it worked... so a factor of why you took the shot is probly a reson of your side effect, i went and reduced all stress by 62% and i feel better, not great but better, less frquent, and can do more. she also did some other checking before she gave me the Torodol, blood work, and then she asked if i we depressed. so may be if you too this and you were/ are depressed, or you took it becuse of stress, and your wondering why it came back, the awnsers are right in front of you stress is a major factor of MIGRANE, as soon as i have tryed all migrane tension headache and all else false i go to the doc. usully in a 24 hrs. | F | 28 | 3 years | 4/23/2009 | 5 | severe tibial plateau fx w/surgery | drowsiness with both injection and oral. | This is really an amazing pain killer if you can tolerate it. I was given morphine and demerol in the hospital and neither of these touched my pain like the IM of Toradol. Within minutes of the injection, the pain was gone. The oral form works too, however I vomited if I didn't eat enough before taking it. I also noticed that after a few days I became more emotional---depressed--which I'm not prone to. | F | 41 | 5 days | 3/30/2008 | 5 | Carpul Tunnel | None | Worked wonderfully. Had full use of my hands for a change... Elbow, shoulders, arms, knees, it all worked again. I only took one 10 mg. My doc told me to take it 5 days get off of it a week and then I can take it 5 more. Repeating that cycle. Anyone else? The relief has lasted 24 hours for me. | F | 43 | 1 times | 2/13/2009 | 5 | Miagraine | Drowsiness | I have been suffering from Migraines for years. I have taken both acute and preventitive meds, imitrex, axert, elavil, tramadol, ultracet, tylenol, etc. The older I get the worse my miagraines get, This is the 2nd time I have been given a Toradol shot in the last month. It is the greatest for me, gone withing 1 hour. | F | 34 | 2 times | 11/18/2008 | 5 | HERNIATED DISC, CHRONIC PAIN | NONE | I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND NOTHING EVER RELEIVED MY SCREAMING PAIN THE WAY A TORADOL SHOT DID. I WAS SO GREATFULL AND HAPPY TO KNOW THERE WAS RELIEF IN MY FUTURE. | F | 39 | 4 years | 4/12/2005 | 5 | major surgery | none | I was given morphene with the button and it did not touch my pain I was begging for relief and then came a shot of toradol and within minutes the pain was gone all of it wow. nothing better as far as im concerned. | F | 40 | 14 days | 4/25/2005 | 5 | migraine oral and IM | 2 doses of oral in a day, bloody nose the next. IM--sweet relief--no side effects either. | With all other drugs pushed at me and I refused, my NP offered me this. My migraines are gone totally within 1 hour without sleepiness, hangover, etc. Go home, lay on couch, chair etc. and in a short time it is gone. I saw a neuro as well as my rheumy and they have both endorsed the medication for me. I have FMS/CFS as well and by not taking care of the body/muscle pain, it can lead to the migraine out of control. I know my limits of no more than twice of oral 30 mg in a day, then call for the hypo which is 60 mg. My medication insurance will not allow me to get more than 6 doses in a month of the oral. Yet they cover endless in the ER, different insurance for that care. | F | 50 | 5 years | 5/26/2005 | 5 | severe abdomen pain | drowsiness | I had debilitating abdominal pain, and at the hospital they gave me this by IV. It really helped, my pain is almost gone, and other than falling asleep and snoring so loud I woke myself up in the emergency room, I had no other side effects so far. I was administered this drug about 5 hours ago. | F | 26 | 1 times | 10/1/2007 | 5 | Headaches | The worse constant throbbing head pain in my entire life (I am 40 with no history of headaches) | Day 6 and after 2 doctors visits, advil, tylenol, fiorcet, imitrex nothing seemed to work. Went to ER (on Doc's suggestion) they gave me percocet, which didn't make the pain go away, but I didn't care about it. Then came the IV of Toradol with benedryl & reglan - slept like a baby for an hour, Doc woke me up and NO PAIN - this is super drug, felt like a brand new person. Went home, slept the nite away and am back at work today - not 100% but 1000% better than I was at this time yesterday. I am not a pill taker, but damn this stuff is good. | F | 40 | 1 times | 2/16/2007 | 5 | Headaches | NONE - didn't get the worse constant throbbing headache - I didn't read the box correctly - thought it said WHY YOU WERE taking it. | Ooops didn't read this very well - but I loved this drug.... day 6 after 2 doc visits...blah blah blah... | F | 40 | 1 times | 2/16/2007 | 5 | Headaches | None | I do self-injections of Toradol 30 mg. Toradol works quite rapidly for my throbbing headaches and I don't seem to suffer the stomach upset that oral anti-inflammatories cause me. As soon as Toradol is injected, I can feel the medication working rather quickly. Self-injections save me trips to my local Emergency Room and I can begin headache treatment immediately at home instead of waiting hours (with pain) in the ER. I use the Toradol injections wisely and limit my injections as instructed to avoid kidney reactions, etc. | F | 2 months | 6/3/2007 | 5 | stage IV endometriosis with nerve p | weakness and pain in arm after shot (to be expected), drowsiness, cold sweat for about 20 mins- maybe due to adreneline- I HATE NEEDLES, general sense of heaviness that I get with all painkillers | IM injection. This stuff is great. 4 hours after my shot, I am sitting at work, pleasantly disoriented but still able to do my job. Terrible stabbing pain has gone to just a whisper, a twinge- and I don't even care about it. Will probably last for a few days. I was taking Darvocets like candy for the past three days- this blows everything else out of the water. Second time I've gotten this shot- I will continue to save for real emergencies. | F | 29 | 2 times | 1/11/2008 | 5 | kidney stones | drowsiness | I went in tuesday night to the urgent care, having kidney stones before, I knew what the pain was coming from. So immediately I asked for toradol seeing as how that was the only thing that took care of the pain two years ago when I ended up in The ER. The pain was gone within 15 minutes. The following tuesday I ended up back in the urgent care only in worst pain than the previous tuesday. I had been in pain for 5 hours before going in. Asked for the shot and 15 minutes later, what do ya know? the pain was gone....5 HOURS OF PAIN GONE just from this drug. This drug is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone having kidney stone problems. | F | 23 | 2 times | 12/16/2008 | 5 | Migraine | None at all. | Had the worse migraine of my life. No painkillers could touch it. Got a shot in my butt and the pain was gone within 10 minutes. I was so relieved! | F | 35 | 1 days | 4/11/2009 | 5 | recurrent severe kidney stone pain | Minor burning during injection and persistent soreness at injection site up to 72 hrs. This can be avoided if injected 1ml/1ml with Marcaine; a local anesthetic. | [These comments are regarding Toradol for injection, I have not personally found Toradol tablets to be effective for pain relief.] I first encountered Toradol years ago when hospitalized with my first migraine, 1 injection and the migraine was miraculously gone. Fast forward 20 years to 2009 and I am rushed to the ER with 10/10 flank pain, which turns out to be a kidney stone. Again I am given Toradol and the pain is almost gone within seconds. I am currently producing kidney stones like some sort of masochistic factory & both the ER and my urologist are very generous in offerring me Norco, Vocodin and Oxycodone. But I far prefer, and always request 30mg/ml Toradol for self injection. (Note: I am VERY needle phobic, that's how bad my pain is and how well this medication works when injected). It is the only thing that actually rids me of all the pain and leaves me functional so that I can still work and drive. It IS a drug with many side effects and must be taken under the close management of a physician. However, for those people whom are good candidates for it, like myself, it it a absolute godsend. My quality of life would be zero right now without it. | F | 43 | 6 months | 3/31/2009 | 5 | surgery for a collapsed lung | NONE!!!! | I had never heard of this med until the pain settled in from the chest tube. I was given an IV of Demoral and oxycodone which was like licking a lollipop. I asked if there was anything else. Dr. sent toradol that was given through the IV. I had immediate relief! I was given more every 6 hours for several days. It also took away my nerve damage pain for about a week. When my nerve pain gets too bad, I think I'll ask for a script for this drug before I have another nerve block. The nerve block collapsed my lung in the first place! | F | 38 | 3 days | 6/20/2008 | 5 | migraine | none | this is wonderful, Had a migraine on saturday..take imitrex...didn't work...waited it out two days till monday, went to er and got shots of something else...was very tired ..came home and slept..woke up tuesday still with that migraine..so today thursday still had it in a lot of pain..for seven day..doc gave me a shot of toradol...five minutes migraine gone..love it..now something works without making me tired | F | 26 | 1 times | 5/30/2008 | 5 | migraines | none | Excellent pain relief. All of my migraine symptoms were releaved almost instantly and I had no problems again for at least a week. Worked when nothing else did. | F | 33 | 2 times | 8/4/2008 | 5 | Pluerisy | Stinging at injection site for about 10 minutes. | This shot worked wonders for my sudden, very extreme chest pain. I've had Pluerisy once before (on the left side) and this episode was much worse and on my right side. The pain was very extreme and constant. The shot relieved my chest pain within about 10-15 minutes, before I left the Dr's office. | F | 43 | 1 days | 8/19/2008 | 5 | Migraines | I didn't have any side effects | I've had this twice for my migraines. I ended up at the ER they gave me this along with others. This works great if you ever need it this is what they gave me. IV Fluids, Benadryl, Toradol, and Reglan...I call this my "headache cocktail" It works great, especially when you have a horrible migraine attack | F | 23 | 2 times | 7/20/2009 | 5 | Migraine | Nausea, Drowsiness | On maintenance for migraines (Topomax). Had migraine for 5 days straight - took Maxalt and did not help. The doctor told me to go get a Toradol injectect and the doctor gave me a Phenegin shot as well as a Toradol shot - all sysmptoms of the migraine were gone within 20 minutes and stayed gone for quite a while with no real side effects except slept really well. I just recently had to have another Toradol shot for another really bad migraine and the doctor did not give me the phenegin shot with the toradol shot - had severe nausea with it and really out of it - but didn't go straight home and sleep, but he shot does work. Just need to make sure you go straight home and sleep it off. | F | 42 | 4 months | 7/22/2009 | 5 | Rotator cuff impingement/tendonitis | None- just pain relief | Great pain med. Hard on stomach, but for short term use is much better than vicodin or darvocet for pain relief and swelling associated with my RTC tendonitis flare ups. | F | 46 | 5 days | 11/5/2009 | 5 | Back pain and spasm | Mild indigestion. Some tiredness but it passed. On the morning of the day after the shot I could tie my shoes. Something I couldn't do the day before without falling on the floor in agony. Unfortunately the effect wore off in 24 hours and I was put on the Medrol pack. I have had these shots twice in the past and they always have offered relief. | I wish I could get a shot of Toradol every day. This worked much better then the Medrol pack as far as controlling the pain. So sad the side effects are to severe to use long term. | F | 45 | 1 days | 11/9/2009 | 5 | Migrain | None | Taken it before and helped ease and break my migrain when nothing else helped | F | 32 | 1 times | 12/7/2009 | 5 | herniated dis on neck and lower bac | dry mouth | it is my second time by injection , i was in a lot of pain this med help com the pain . it work for me | F | 51 | 7/17/2006 | 5 | Migraine | None | I had a severe migraine for 6 days. Tried Relpax would take it away for a couple of hours but then headache was back. One shot of Toradol and 5 minutes later the headache was gone! It broke the cycle and it hasn't returned!! | F | 35 | 1 days | 3/22/2007 | 5 | Back and Neck Pain | None noticed | It took away my pain quickly and I was able to get through the last holidays while entertaining and cooking for almost 50 people. Without the shot, I'm not sure what I would have done! I have severe neck and back pain again and will be injected tomorrow. This is only the 4th time I've had a shot, but if you need pain relief fast...I recommend it! | F | 44 | 3 days | 7/31/2006 | 5 | Pelvic Pain/Fibroids/Endometriosis | Minimal side effects of dry mouth, sleepiness, hungry, slightly dizzy, and very thirsty. Nothing when compared to the side effects of the other drugs I've tried! | I have endometriosis coupled with a few large fibroids. Needless to say I have severe pelvic pain especially during those times of the month I bleed HEAVILY. I've tried darvicet, percicet, Ibpr 800, and Tylenol with codeine... with absolutly NO relief! I was given a script of 20 pills for 10mg of Toradol by an ER doctor and with 30 mins of taking ONE, I was pain free for 12 hours!! Only 10mg of Toradol 2 times a day and I can breath! Tramadol comes close but doesn't last as long nor act as quick. Just wanted other women to know about this miracle drug! | F | 36 | 3 days | 2/21/2006 | 5 | Oral extractions | Due to sphincture of odie spasms (caused by gallbladder removal 20 years ago) I am unable to take any type of pain meds until I discovered Toradol....This med is great....No added pain in bile duct area. | F | 64 | 2 days | 5/3/2006 | 5 | bac, neck, shldr, headache pain | 3rd Auto accid, as passenger in LA, Calif., 1994. Brke neck, back, severe head trauma. 12 yrs later been in Oper Rm 26 X's, and cant begin to cnt trips to ER. for "Out Of Control Pain & Vomiting".(OFCP &V) I've had EVERYTHING tried on me.

Not considered an addtive drg | Are there any controlled test for Toradol and possible kidney injuries from long term, low usage use? Does anyone have information that Toradol causes internal injuries from careful long term use??? I cannot find anything. I've used it a long time with no prob. Need to be careful with stomach. Eat blanch food for 3 days after shot. Do not over use Toradol. Save for real NEED. Great Drug, given me my life back. | F | 56 | 7 years | 11/5/2006 | 5 | Surgery, other | I cannot take Morphine or Demerol (found out the hard way), so this was my only other alternative. It very works well, but not as well as the other two described above as it wears off earlier. | The only concern I have is that prolonged use can lead to kidney damage which was why I was taking it in the first place. As long as amount and duration is monitered, I would highly recommend Toradol. | F | 28 | 2/3/2006 | 5 | Migraine | None. | I have almost instanteous relief when I take a shot of toradol. My doctor has limited the shots to no more than one per week, because of the side effects. | F | 38 | 10 months | 11/9/2003 | 5 | Arthritis pain-Crohn's | None that I know of. | F | 20 | 5 days | 1/21/2003 | 5 | muscle spasms,chronic pain | Drowsiness. | My Mom took it for years but now they're finding it can do bad organ damage real fast, so she can't take it anymore. I recommend it to chronic neck and back pain sufferers who visit the ER like a second home as a "pain cocktail". Ask for a shot of demerol, toradol and visterol. It will give relief within 20min. depending on dosage and body weight of course. Don't feel bad about telling the doctor what you want, he/she's not a mind reader. Just don't EVER take a prescription for pain pills from an ER doctor, that's how you get flagged in the computer as a drug seeker, go see your doctor for your meds. | F | 21 | 5 times | 8/13/2002 | 5 | Migraines | Euporia, along with a tendency to be hyper-talkative. I have read that this is one of the more unusual and rare side effects. Then again, that may only have been caused by the exquisite sensation of complete pain relief. | I had been on Inderal for prevention of migraines - didn't work. Doctor switched me to Verapamil for prevention - didn't work. Had tried Imitrex, Relpax, and Maxalt, only to have migraines rebound after a short period of time. I was in the doctor's office for another problem, and fainted. When I came to, I mentioned that the fainting was probably due to my severe migraine. Doctor gave me a shot of Toradol, and within 10 minutes all migraine symptoms were completely gone. I am allergic to opiates/opioids (as well as having other allergies and asthma) and several other medications, so I assumed my treatment options were limited. My migraines are menstrual-linked, and I ususally have them all during the week before I start my period. The Toradol injection completely did away with that; I was migraine-free for the rest of the week. This drug is the best thing since sliced bread. Next time I have a migraine, I will be at the doctor's getting shot up. | F | 37 | 1 times | 8/26/2007 | 5 | post-surgical pain-foot surgery | Some lower abdominal cramping with slight change in BM after second day on this med. 10 mg. every 12 hours | Excellent pain relief after surgery that required a lot of bone removal from a big toe that was fused with severe bone spurring. The surgeon commented that bone damage was much worse than he expected. I had total pain relief of all other body aches including disc degeneration of neck and lumbar region. I did not realize how much constant discomfort I am in until I had to stop the Toradol after 2 days. I then was aware that I have become accustomed to a great deal of chronic pain...but I had 2 wonderful days and now better appreciate my usual pain level. | F | 44 | 2 days | 8/14/2007 | 5 | Kidney Stones | Severe side, flank and back pain and pressure | I had a kidney stone and I was in so much pain I was throwing up and screaming. The doc at the ER gave me Demerol and finnigin. This did not touch the pain. About a hour later he put a IV in me and injected Demerol through that. Still, I was in terrible pain. I slept for five minutes and wolk up screaming. Finally, my mom, who has also had Kidney Stones ask that I be given toradol. Within thirty minutes of the shot I was totally out of pain. My urologist said that he did not understand why I was not given this in the first place because Toradol works wonders on kidney stones. | F | 27 | 2 days | 6/16/2007 | 5 | Severe Throat Pain-Severe Sinus Inf | none | I had a sore throat like you wouldn't believe...couldn't swallow, sleep or even talk..doctor prescribed Toradol 10MG and I couldn't believe it! The pain was GONE - I had taken a couple of different pain pills that just took the edge off enough for me to have a little relief, but Toradol just took ALL the pain away. I absolutely think it is a wonderful drug and would recommend it to anyone that is experiencing pain.... | F | 51 | 2 days | 6/22/2007 | 5 | Infection post UAE | None | This drug was a God send! After getting no relief via self-administered morphine pump in hospital, Toradol brough the ONLY pain relief I experienced. It worked within seconds of being administered via IV. Literally, within seconds. I highly recommend it and if I ever need high-level pain relief again, I will ask for it by name. | F | 47 | 11/4/2008 | 5 | pre and post op kidney stones | None! | This stuff is better than any narcotic given for kidney/ureter pain. This will almost totally cure my 10/10 pain whether it is from a kidney stone, post op stent pain or blood clot blockage. I have chronic cystine kidney stones and this works every time. | F | 31 | 2 days | 11/16/2007 | 4 | Cluster Headaches | It knocks me out, which is nice if I take it before bed. It gives me a metallic taste in my mouth and a mild migraine. Ive had a little burning in my chest and some fluttering. | This works faster and efficiently! When my headaches are a 10 on the scale, this is my miracle drug! | F | 32 | 3 months | 12/5/2007 | 4 | FOR BACK PAIN | JUST A LITTLE HEADACHE | FIRST TIME TAKING MEDICINE FOR BACK PAIN IT REALLY HELPED ALOT! | F | 28 | 1 times | 3/7/2008 | 4 | severe sunburn | soreness at the injection site about 24hrs from the time i received the shot (60mg)IV). no other physical or emotional side effects that's the main perk from this drug. | worked very well though a sunburn is a sunburn and this was a horrible one. so not much relief from anything. i was also give loratab/hydrocodone so the equal combination of both narcotic and non-narcotic, work miracles in treating pain. | F | 20 | 1 days | 7/16/2008 | 4 | Polymalagia Rheumatica | Hives all over body worse on left leg and back. | It worked great but had to stop hives were getting worse | F | 62 | 6 days | 4/24/2008 | 3 | carpal tunnel | about 1/2 hour after taking it I felt a little bit light headed and tired. I was fine one minute and then it hit all at once while I was on my way home and I started walking really slowly and had to just stop for a couple of minutes but then I was fine just a little sleepy. | I did not really feel complete relief from pain until 2 days after shot and complete lack of use of my wrist, but it definately took the edge off. | F | 38 | 1 times | 2/25/2008 | 3 | chest pain | I noticed that since taking toradol, I've had unbearable back pain usually right after I take the toradol pill. I am not sure if it is gas but it hurts really bad.However, it helped my chest pain. Not sure what caused the back pain. | F | 39 | 5 days | 8/15/2009 | 3 | Migraine | It made me sleepy, and as an advrese side affect I had short muscle spasms on the right side of my body for about the first 2 1/2 hours. | I had had what I thought was a migraine for over a week. I was given Maxalt (a disolvable form of Imitrex), which made me sick and therefore made my headache much worse. So I went to see my regular DR she gave me a shot of phenogren for the headache and a shot of another drug for the nausea. Well, needless to say because phenogren affects the nerves it did me no good. Four days later because I still could not get rid of my 'migraine', I went to see another DR who gave me a shot of Toradol (a muscle relaxant). He told me that the pain was more than likely caused due to the muscles in my head contracting and spasming and not relaxing. He said I should feel the affects within 20 min. Unfortunately, I was not feeling any relief until I woke up from a 5 hour nap. I still had a little pain, but it was bearable, and I was happy. | F | 20 | 1 days | 12/5/2007 | 3 | Migraine | Stomach cramps with the feeling of diarrhea, but was constipated | I had had a migraine for 8 days. I was taking two other pain medications as prescribed by my doctor 4 pills 4 times per day. It made me sleep, but when I awoke, the pain was back. I could not take another day of it. I visited my doctor and was given an injection of Toradol. The dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, and the headache was gone within 10 minutes. It was wonderful. The next day it was back. I am at a loss. I am now on day eleven of the migraine. It is not as bad as it was, but I am still looking for total relief. | F | 29 | 1 days | 2/5/2006 | 2 | migraine | Severe allerigc reaction. I could not breathe at all while taking this, it was a worse feeling than the migraine was. I had profuse sweating and stomach cramps. I have asthma and the doctors blew me off when I was said I couldn't breathe. I really meant it. | Worked wonders for the migraine, but do not take this if you have asthma. Don't chance it. The not being able to breath lasted for hours and hours. | F | 31 | 1 times | 9/17/2006 | 2 | migriane | dizziness, sweating, and loose stools | was not happy with results, I felt worse after the administration of toradol then I did before | F | 25 | 1 days | 7/11/2005 | 2 | Severe lower back pain | None | It only helped me for about the hour I was laying in the hospital bed before I got released. Once I got up and started walking my back was hurting so bad, I didn't even want to make it out to the car, but as soon as I got to the car and sat down, I was fine. | F | 22 | 1 times | 12/13/2009 | 2 | Post Surgery | Hyperactive * Jittery feeling *Itching * Restlessness * Heart Racing * Shallow breathing * Fluid Retention * | Torodol was doing a great job of keeping the post surgical pain at bay, but I was unable to get any rest and felt like I was on speed or a whole day caffenine high. I was on it for less than 2 days. I can tell a difference since my last dose was about 12 hours ago, the side effects seem to have eased up a little but unfortuantely the pain is becoming much more obvious. The side effects outweighed the pain relief. | F | 53 | 1.5 days | 3/19/2008 | 2 | postviral migraine | dry mouth | This only took the edge off of my daughters refractory migraine. We tried it later and found it didn't really help. We found out later there were other meds they could have tried. | F | 8 | 3 days | 12/7/2008 | 2 | migraine | F | 45 | 10 days | 10/18/2009 | 1 | Back and stomach pain | the first injection was given to me though iv so no side effects but second trip to the urgent care it was given to me in my hip and it stung alot and its been a week and the spot still hurts | I was also given a perscription of it to take home w/me for my pain after the second trip to the E.R. It did not help my pain at all. I might as well have just not taken anything. I still have lots of back pain and stomach pain and not sure if its from the toradol or from the depo shot..I dont reccomend this medication. Its a waste of ur time and money. IT DOES NOT WORK!!! | F | 24 | 8 days | 1/3/2010 | 1 | Cluster headache | Stinging at injection site for about 20 minutes. The most pain I've ever experienced in my life. | After an hour or so, headache pain subsided for a few minutes and then returned just as severe. | F | 35 | 1 times | 7/15/2009 | 1 | endometriol pain in the ER | Almost immediately after receiving shot I became extremely nauseaus and was give zofran, soon I was unable to breath properly,severly agitated and emotional, cold sweats, stomach cramps, feeling that I just needed to get out of that E.R. bed immediately. My husband found the student Dr. and told her and she came in with a large dose of benedryl and did not know why I didnt get it this time. This helped a great deal. the Dr. said that she always gives benadryl with toradol because of side effects. I do have asthma and do take celexa. | I do have asthma and do take celexa. These are just two of the interactions that should be considered before administrating toradol.I had also been give zofran before the toradol that day. I have heard that celexa, zofran, and many others meds can have really bad interactions with toradol. I have had a bad reaction with reglan before as well. | F | 26 | 1 days | 8/27/2008 | 1 | Migraine | I became very paranoid approximately 20 minutes after injection. I believed my husband was trying to kill me and became very anxious. | Toradol relieved my migraine for an hour or two, but then it came right back. I will never use it again as the side effects were very frightening. | F | 48 | 1 days | 4/20/2009 | 1 | Sever back pain | Sever vomiting of blood,chest pain,chills | Was given injection of toradol in er because i was in severe pain. i have three buldging disc in my back and had lost all feeling in my right arm and leg.Soon after I broke out in a cold sweat and became very nauseated,after going home I began throwing up blood perfusly and was taken to the emergency room were I stayed over night.I WILL NEVER TAKE THIS DRUG AGAIN!!!! | F | 39 | 1 times | 1/19/2006 | 1 | Inflammatory cartilage pain | Felt like I was "high" - things didn't make sense to me, I was lifting my feet several feet in the air while walking, etc. Just completely "out of it." | Given as a shot to ease inflammatory cartilage pain (in addition to prescriptions to many other NSAIDs). Later found out through my own research that the NSAIDs actually further damage the cartilage. Sure, Toradol eased my pain for about three hours, but that was it. Never again! I'm on herbal anti-inflammatories now and feel "normal" again and my pain level continues to decrease! | F | 28 | 1 days | 9/17/2005 | 1 | headache | Night sweats, dizziness, severe abdominal cramping and chest pain (due to inflammation of the esophagus). I've had moderate cramping and burning pain in these areas since the medication was stopped 3 days ago. My appetite is almost non-existent; Eating is forced and my stomach starts cramping about 5 minutes after the first bite of food. | I ended up in the hospital with some sort of virus... the resident ordered IV administered toradol every 6 hours for an accompanying headache. It only worked for about 2 hours per dose before the headache returned, and about 30 minutes after the 6th dose I started having something akin to spasms in my stomach and chest. I felt like every major organ in my abdominal cavity had exploded. The initial episode lasted for about 7 hours before the pain subsided to the point where I could even sit up without triggering another spasm. They discontinued the injections and I was discharged yesterday (I was going to leave AMA but the head physician felt sorry for me and offered to sign the papers.) I still feel like someone took a sledge hammer to my stomach, but I've been taking pepsid and prilosec to try and stave it off to an extent. I'm just hoping that this hasn't done any permanent damage. I hate medicine in general, but I'd have to be crazy or incompetent to even consider taking this stuff | F | 19 | 6 times | 5/22/2006 | 1 | Stomach Pain | Sweating, Severe Abdominal Pain, Diarrhea | F | 18 | 9/16/2006 | 1 | Headache Relief | Dizziness, Red & Itchy Skin, Fever, Drowsiness, Flushing, Nervousness | Doesn't relieve the headaches for more than 2 hours. | F | 18 | 6 days | 9/5/2005 | 5 | chronic pain acute athsma depressio | 2/14/2005 | 1 | Toradol Linked to Stevens Johnson Syndrome | 6/30/2006 |
